Our group includes:
- UoM alumni with Chinese cultural backgrounds
- Mandarin, Cantonese, or other Chinese dialect speakers
- Individuals from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, and the wider Chinese diaspora

We celebrate both shared heritage and diversity, and welcome all who wish to connect through culture and community.
